I can no more choose to not believe in a god than I can choose to not believe in unicorns. Even if I say the words "I believe unicorns exist" I will know that what I am saying is patently false and hence do not actually believe what I am saying I believe.

I would need to be convinced that unicorns exist in order to actually believe that they exist and I am not sure that being convinced of something is a matter of choice either.

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
